• Fushiguro left the dorm early the next morning and ate breakfast with Kugisaki, Maki, and the others.
• Itadori started telling the group that Sukuna thanked Fushiguro for letting him pet the dog, but Fushiguro covered his mouth before he could finish.

Megumi Fushiguro dealt with the fallout from a misunderstood comment about Sukuna petting the Divine Dogs, then Sukuna tried to expand his domain with Satoru Gojo. Sukuna's attempt collapsed when he realized his domain was called Malevolent Shrine, which he interpreted as proof that his hidden cursed technique made him a chef, so he pretended he still could not expand it.

• Megumi Fushiguro spent the day denying rumors about the Divine Dogs and blamed himself for the misunderstanding involving Itadori and Sukuna.

After Gojo defeated Jogo, Itadori asked Sukuna to teach him a Cursed Technique, and Gojo assigned him to learn Dismantle while asking Sukuna whether he wanted to try expanding his domain again.

• Gojo assigned Itadori to learn Dismantle and asked Sukuna if he wanted to try expanding his domain again.

Sukuna tried to expand his domain again under Gojo’s guidance, but it formed a pit that sank him ten meters underground. After Gojo laughed at the mishap, Sukuna invented fake names for his domain and cursed technique, leaving Gojo convinced he had remembered them.

• Gojo brought Sukuna to a grassland, advised him to keep his domain within ten meters, and watched from a safe distance.
• Sukuna expanded his domain, which formed a hemispherical pit and sank him ten meters below Gojo.

• When Gojo asked for the domain’s name, Sukuna called it “Demon-Subduing Hell Yama Heaven.”
• Sukuna told Gojo his cursed technique was “Yama Hell,” and Gojo congratulated him for remembering everything.

Sukuna analyzed his domain with Gojo, then carefully taught Itadori the difference between his two types of slashes. After Itadori completed his training, Gojo assigned him to exorcise every Grade 4 Curse in Trypophobia Forest using only slashes.

• Itadori used Cleave and Dismantle to exorcise the curses in the forest, discovering that Dismantle efficiently killed the grade 4 spirits with little cursed energy.

• Gojo praised Itadori’s progress and told him he could start taking grade 1 missions the next day.
• Itadori greeted Megumi Fushiguro with a badly peeled apple and said he had used Dismantle to peel it.
• Megumi Fushiguro stared at the apple in disbelief while Sukuna privately fumed that Itadori’s peeling made Dismantle look bad.

Itadori struggled to master Sukuna's Dismantle and became sick of apples after practicing on too many. As the students prepared for the Goodwill Event, Itadori met Todo and fled when Todo called him his best friend and claimed they had met in middle school.

• Itadori and Sukuna recalled practicing Dismantle on apples, and Megumi Fushiguro realized Itadori had offered him an apple because he could no longer stand to eat them.

• Itadori ran from Todo after Todo said they had met in middle school, insisting that nobody like Todo had attended his middle school.

Yuji Itadori was pursued by Aoi Todo, who declared him his best friend, and later struggled to learn smoother cursed energy control. Gojo sent Yuji on a Grade 1 mission, where a curse’s fear-inducing ability made it appear as Todo and left Yuji with even more trauma.

• Maki, Panda, and the others saw Todo chase Yuji and stepped aside until Toge Inumaki stopped Todo with his cursed speech.

• Yuji asked Sukuna how to improve his cursed energy control, and Sukuna suggested he ask Gojo.
• Gojo and Sukuna could not explain how to make cursed energy control smoother, so Gojo sent Yuji on a Grade 1 mission for combat practice.
• At a Haunted House, a curse made Yuji see it as a many-armed Todo, and Yuji beat the curse to death instead of fleeing.

Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro celebrated Kugisaki's birthday with a shopping spree and dinner, where she wished for everyone to stay safe and together. Back in his room, Itadori and Sukuna decided to celebrate Sukuna's birthday on the day he came back to life inside Itadori.

The next morning, Nobara rallied Yuji and Megumi to win the Goodwill Event and help Maki overcome the Zenin Clan’s obstruction, while Sukuna encouraged Yuji from within him.

• After the birthday celebration, Itadori gave Sukuna a black scarf, which Sukuna happily put on before learning it had not been washed.
• That night, Sukuna told Itadori he was starting to hate the thought of leaving, and he privately wished that he could survive and that everyone could be happy.
• The next morning, Nobara urged Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro to win the Goodwill Event so Maki’s strength would become known and the Zenin Clan could not keep holding back her rank.
• Itadori lamented that Sukuna could not participate in the public event, and Sukuna reassured him that he would watch from inside and urged him to win.

Sukuna joined the students for a meal, but Gojo tricked him into eating chili-filled chocolates, sparking a feud and a beating. Gojo later returned with snacks and missions, leaving Itadori to face a Grade 1 curse every night.

• Sukuna joined the first- and second-years for lunch after Itadori switched with him, and Gojo appeared with chocolates.

As Itadori learned Nanami had encountered a special grade curse, Sukuna sensed the curse had placed one of his fingers in the Yoshino home and urgently told Itadori to stop the car.

• Nanami assigned Itadori to investigate Junpei Yoshino, but Itadori quickly ended up sharing dinner with Junpei and his mother, Nagi.
• After Nagi fell asleep, Itadori praised her and said goodbye to Junpei, who wondered whether he could still use Mahito’s power for revenge without becoming Itadori’s enemy or disappointing his mother.
• Itadori told Ijichi that he believed Junpei had nothing to do with the movie theater deaths, and Ijichi reported that Nanami had been injured fighting a humanoid special grade curse with stitches on its face.
• Sukuna sensed one of his fingers in the Yoshino home and saw the stitched curse place it near the sleeping Nagi.
• Sukuna ordered Itadori to make Ijichi stop the car, warning that the stitched curse had brought his finger to Junpei’s house.

Sukuna sensed a curse near the finger in Nagi Yoshino’s home and took over from Itadori to reach her before it could attack. He saved Nagi and Junpei, but his distant slash wrecked their kitchen, and Itadori’s rushed arrival left them with a broken door and a strange explanation for Sukuna’s markings.

• Sukuna told Itadori that a curse was forming near his finger in Nagi Yoshino’s home, so Itadori leapt from Ijichi’s car and ran back.

• Junpei asked Itadori about the curse, the wall damage, and the Cinema, so Itadori suggested they talk elsewhere.
• Junpei left Moon Dregs to guard Nagi and led Itadori upstairs to his room.

Itadori told Junpei that Mahito had likely planted the cursed object that brought a curse into his home, and Junpei realized his former teacher might be a threat to him and his mother.

Itadori and Junpei found the curses’ sewer hideout, where Junpei accepted that Mahito was gone, and the chapter left him beginning to form a new thought as he was taken to Jujutsu High.

• Mahito told Kenjaku that Sukuna had attacked him, then realized he had been caught in the crossfire while Sukuna killed the curse carrying the finger.
